Zygomatico-orbital artery: the largest artery in the temporal area

The zygomatico-orbital artery is the largest artery in the temporal area. With the increasing number of reconstructive and aesthetic surgeries in the area, in-depth understanding of this artery is needed. Thus, the aim of this anatomical study was to determine more information on the zygomatico-orbital artery using contrast-enhanced three-dimensional computer tomography (CT) and color-flow Doppler sonography. Based on CT images taken between October 2015 and October 2016 for diagnosing and treating maxillofacial conditions, 50 patients were selected.
